10 Awesome Cars That Would Be Even Better with a Manual Transmission

A car with a manual gearbox has a lot to offer and upgrades the driver's experience of riding the car. The control setup and the overall upgrade in the latest models are worth investing in, from architecture to robust performance. There is something exciting about having control of the driving stick and opting for manual transmission over others.
Audi R8
It is one of the popular Audi car choices that is stunning and beautiful in the overall package. Its power setup is similar to the famous Lamborghini Huracan, with excellent potency to go a long way. The R8's transmission is a bit different than other car models. Here, the main focus is the S Tronic dual-clutch system that is great for the R8 but sometimes tends to limit the driving engagement.
Ferrari Anything
This is a foregone conclusion! There have been some excellent options from the brand, such as the 488 Spider, 812 Superfast, and the F8 Tributo, with an excellent transmission set up of the hallowed 7 speed F1 DCT. The upgrade in the manufacturing style mainly brings in better-driving thrills and gives drivers the feel of true-blue sports cars. This is how the brand offers the latest car options with a great manual transmission option as well.
C8 Corvette
If in search of a revolutionary car option, this is the one. This is the first automatic Corvette that will do wonders like its predecessors in the market. It is an excellent option from its predecessor in every aspect and also due to the upgrades that it has undergone. The praiseworthy performance of this supercar, the handling, and the excellent engine layout makes it stand out from the rest. Moreover, its dual-clutch unit is known to shift faster than one can imagine. Now imagine this baby with a manual transmission unit? Fantastic isn't it?

Ford GT
The Ford GT debut in 2015 wasn't as appreciated as its latest launch. The previous supercharge 5.4 liter V8 came with incredible sound. The new one has come with 100 horsepower, dropping in its weight but is still a stellar performer to ride with. It is another excellent option for the driver to ride comfortably and with a lot of fun, due to its transmission and gearbox setup package. The new model has a 7-speed dual-clutch system that makes it an excellent option by all means. With this, the driver has to keep both hands on the wheel.

Toyota Supra A90
This is the best option with more power yet less weight compared to its predecessors. The interior is also a great one and easy to handle. With this upgrade, coupled with the 8-speed automatic gearbox, it is sure to give a good competition in the market and is worth investing for its excellent getup and upgrade. The automatic transmission system is outstanding, more additions and innovations in the manual gearbox would have been great for this edition.
